For those of you who have tried/purchased the DSC, how many of you did so with the stock suspension vs upgraded shocks/springs/bars, etc.

My 997.1 is stock, except for rotated front struts and toe arms in the rear. DSC transforms the car!

On my 7.1 GT3 I am using DSC with Bilstein Damptronics with 500/720 spring, TPC 29mm front bar, TPC rear toe links that has been bump steer corrected, GT3 Cup front & rear lower control arms. Frankly I didn't feel the shocks themselves made a noticeable difference when I was still using the stock PASM module, the difference I felt back then was mostly from the springs.

We have a number of local customers with 7.1 and .2 GT3's using DSC and stiffer front springs on OEM shocks. And a number of 997TT customers with Damptronics and various spring rates, bars, toe links, and even customers with stock PASM shock with Eibach Pro Kit lowering springs.

Edit: We also have DSC on a lot of 987 Caymans from stock to all out setups.

Unfortunately I have to stay behind to run the shop. Mike and Harris will be at our camp along with Randy Pobst and Damien Faulkner if you need a "read" on your setup.
